"... It does address the FairTax ..."

Certainly it does not as anyone with any sense realizes by just looking at post #609 where I pointed to the nonsensical 41% tax rate. Moreover if you read the Report you'll see that they've assumed twice the level of evasion as present now without any reasoning as to why, they cut our 20% of the tax base by eliminating anything due to government, and other purposeful changes to define their own retail sales tax which is nothing at all like the FairTax. Your claiming it is representative of the FairTax (if that's what you're claiming) is truly nonsense. It's not even close so the numbers they offer are nothing but misinformation.

You'll even note that Rongie knows is isn't the FairTax (though of course he likes it too as a hitpiece).

No, they don't figure twice the current evasion rate, and they do explain the logic used to assume evasion. You would know that if you read the report and not just the FairTax rebuttal.
